Subject: Japanese True Type font for IE4/Netscape
This is a self extracting and installing file. The font is called
MSGOTHIC.ttf and contains all kana and kanji. It came originally from
the Microsoft web site (URL forgotten) and is free to distribute.
After installation, you just need to tell Netscape to use this font for
Japanese encoding (in edit/preferences/fonts).
This is much simpler than getting a dedicated Japanese browser or CJK
display service software.
This font also works in
Microsoft Office '97 software via the character map (unicode supported)
and I discovered you can cut and paste Japanese text from Japanese word
processors as ISO-2022-JP into Office '97 applications and it will be
recognised. This is very useful to say the least.
